C-SPAN

Hispanics are now at the bottom of the food chain in the DemoCRAT Party.

We will welcome them in the Republican Party where we do actions not just words! We are sticking by Estrada until he is on the bench while the DemocRATs are telling the Hispanics -- "Estrada is not Hispanic enough!"

[truthkeeper]

Yep. He was talking about his wife being sick in bed. Well, at least now the RATS can't deny they're filibustering. It's official.

[xsmommy]

and wanting to finish up by SUPPER TIME.

[linn37]

just overheard Lott discussing someone that was ill,perhaps his wife,said hey lets get this over by supper time what do ya'll think?

[GOPrincess]

All I could make out were the words "closed session"...why would they do that...?

[Slip18]

Barely logged in.

[Cboldt]

The response is something I hadn't thought about. At least not the tactics. Maybe a combination of cloture motion, and schedule session for Friday, Saturday, Sunday (but don't announce that part until closing the session for the present day).

[San Jacinto]

I JUST HEARD LOTT SAY, "LET'S FINISH UP BEFORE SUPPERTIME, WHAT DO Y'ALL SAY?" LOL!

Did y'all here that?

[hoosiermama]

DID you hear the male background voice say "SHE was in bed when...."

Hmmm wonder who they were discussing.

[TheBigB]

Nelson (NE) just needs to go ahead and switch. he could have a lifetime job if he did. He votes more like a GOPer than people like Chaffee, Specter, and Snowe anyway.

[GOPrincess]

You know, I thought I heard him say "suppertime" but decided I must have misheard...the words seemed so incongruous with the importance of what's happening...

[rockinonritalin]

I'm watching on C-Span. What are these Senators doing? They're standing around talking to each other like they're at a cocktail party. If I was in the Senate, I would be seething. No other Senator would dare talk to me else they would need the Sergeant at Arms to restrain me from wrecking the whole chambers.

[Miss Marple]

Closed session is used mostly for national security, although I wouldn't put it past them to go closed on every subsequent cloture vote (moved by the rats, not us).
